I'm wanting to have a go at java. I've been trying to get the SDK from the java sun site, but every time I finally download it, it gives me an error, about it being corrupt. So, can I use any other java programs that does the same as this SDK program? As you can see, I don't know what it does, I just read that I need it to compile applets.

Hi, I got the jdk1.1.8 but every time I'm trying to compile it, it's saying:

Code:

error: Can't read: HelloWorldApp.java
1 error

Here's the command I'm typing in DOS:

Code:

C:\>jdk1.1.8\bin\javac HelloWorldApp.java
I put the HelloWorldApp.java file in the bin directory too. Can anyone help me
